'Wonder Woman' Star Gal Gadot Warner Bros., Look Out She Wants Way More than $300k
"Wonder Woman" star Gal Gadot has a message for the studio that produced her mega-hit flick ... open your wallet -- wide.
Reports have surfaced Gadot made just $300,000 for each of the 3 movies she made with the studio -- "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice," "Wonder Woman" and the yet-to-be-released "Justice League."
"Wonder Woman" has become the driver of the 2017 box office, pulling in $570 million worldwide in less than 3 weeks.
We're told the $300k is about right, but sources familiar with the negotiations tell TMZ she has "huge performance bonuses" for "Wonder Woman" and she will end up with many times the base salary.
We're also told Gadot is planning a "major renegotiation" of her deal for sequels ... something common when relatively unknown actors make bare bones deals but then hit it big.
Here's what we know about Hollywood ... she's going to be a very rich woman.

Carrie Fisher Died of Sleep Apnea ... Coroner Now Says
Carrie Fisher did not die simply from a heart attack, instead it was sleep apnea and a combination of other factors ... according to a new coroner's report.
The L.A. County Coroner released the statement Friday evening, but also said it could not conclusively determine what caused her death. As we reported, Carrie's death certificate says it was a "cardiac arrest" ... but also that further testing would be needed to pinpoint what caused the massive heart attack.
The new report does list heart disease and drug use under "other conditions" leading to her death. It also says she'd taken multiple drugs -- but the coroner could not determine if those drugs were significant enough to trigger the heart attack she suffered aboard a flight.
Carrie died 4 days later on December 27. She was 60.

'All Eyez on Me' Producer Sorry, Jada ... the Movie's Accurate Even If Not Word-for-Word
Jada Pinkett Smith missed the point of "All Eyez on Me" -- the producer wasn't trying to precisely recreate her relationship with Tupac ... instead it's a vision of what he thinks Pac wanted it to be.
L.T. Hutton tells TMZ he's hurt and disappointed Jada decided to blast 'Eyez' for including conversations and situations that never happened in real-life. He explained he and the filmmakers took a few liberties because they were trying to show who Tupac was, who he wanted to be ... and who he had to be.
Hutton says he studied Jada's own words about Pac in interviews, and feels she was fairly represented. He made it clear, he had no intention of hurting her, and last he'd heard ... she was all good with the film.
As we reported, Jada called the movie "deeply hurtful" -- but Hutton says he was "very responsible" about everyone's image in the film.

Jada Pinkett Smith 'All Eyez on Me' Is Filled with Lies About Tupac and Me
Jada Pinkett Smith is pissed off about "All Eyez On Me" and how it portrays her relationship with Tupac ... calling the movie, "deeply hurtful."
Jada, who clearly just saw the movie, is taking issue with several scenes, including one where Pac reads her a poem. She says, "I didn't know that poem existed until it was printed in his book."
She also says they never fought backstage at any of his shows ... as they do in the movie.
The reimagining of my relationship to Pac has been deeply hurtful.
@jadapsmith
Jada and Tupac met in high school in the mid '80s. She's described him as one of her best friends, and although they kissed once ... she says it was never a romantic relationship. Jada was even the inspiration for some of his poems that were published after his death.
She does praise Demetrius Shipp and Kat Graham -- who play Pac and Jada -- for their performances ... but definitely shades the screenwriter.
You both did a beautiful job with what you were given. Thank you both.

Items from the fallen tree include key chains and magnets ($40), mini rock hammers ($85), bottle openers ($130), and shadow boxes with an inscription of Andy's note to Red ($500).

We're told items are limited -- only so much tree to go around -- but anything not sold at the race will be available online afterward.

The guy who's playing Tupac Shakur is already calling it quits ... when it comes to reprising the role in any other movies.
We got "All Eyez On Me" star Demetrius Shipp Jr. -- he was clearly excited about last night's big Hollywood premiere and the positive reviews he's getting. So, we asked if he's down to do what his co-star Jamal Woolard has done ... playing Notorious B.I.G. in 3 movies.
Demetrius explained why he's one and done, but basically ... the guy's got big plans, and Tupac is just the start.
Of course, if he keeps getting props from random celebs on the street, Demetrius might change his mind. As we were talking to him ... this really cool Hollywood moment with Big Boi went down!

Virginia Rep. Don Beyer Dems & GOP Are on the Same Team ... In Shooting Fallout
Alexandria, Virginia's own representative in Congress hopes the shooting that injured his colleague can be a uniting force.
We got Congressman Don Beyer -- who reps Virginia's 8th District, including Alexandria -- at Simpson Field Wednesday, where James Hodgkinson opened fire on the GOP's practice sesh ... injuring Rep. Steve Scalise, among others.
He tells our camera guy that this tragedy should get members from both sides of the aisle coming together -- for now, at least -- ahead of Thursday's congressional baseball game ... which is moving forward as scheduled.
Quick side note ... Simpson Field sits near T.C. Williams High School, which is the same school "Remember the Titans" is based on. Beyer's hoping it has the same unifying effect here.

Gisele 'Taxi' Getaway Car Owner Wants It In Museum After It Saved His Life
Gisele Bundchen's baller ride from her co-starring role in the 2004 movie, "Taxi," has a shot at history after saving its owner's life ... at least that's what the owner wants to see happen.
Gisele made her acting debut as a bank robber -- opposite Jimmy Fallon and Queen Latifah -- and drove a bad ass 2003 BMW 760 Li for the role. 10 years later, Zach Schwatz from NY bought the whip for $14,500 from a production staffer. He got it with a new white paint job.
Cut to last week, when Zach crashed his prized beamer into a tree. He suffered 2 broken feet and banged his head around, but believes it would've been way worse in a lesser ride. He's expected to make a full recovery, but the car's dunzo.
Zach wants his baby to be preserved in the Museum of the Moving Image -- instead of ending up on a scrap heap. He's contacted the museum about making the donation, but hasn't heard back yet.
Maybe they saw the movie. Just sayin' ...

Diddy & Suge Knight See Eye to Eye ... On 'All Eyez on Me'
Diddy and Suge Knight will not reignite the East Coast-West Coast war over the new Tupac biopic -- in fact, Death Row and Bad Boy finally agree on something.
Production sources on "All Eyez on Me" tell us ... producer L.T. Hutton reached out to both moguls about how they're portrayed in the film, and to get their thoughts on the story. We're told Diddy loved it so much he gave his blessing for Biggie's "Who Shot Ya?" to be used on the soundtrack.
We're told Suge wasn't able to watch the movie due to his situation -- sitting in jail awaiting trial for murder -- but lawyers did, and described it to him. Suge gave it his stamp of approval, mostly because he goes way back with Hutton and trusts him.
Think about it ... if Diddy signs off on a movie that includes "Hit 'Em Up," it's gotta be good! Right?

"Guardians of the Galaxy" star Dave Bautista says he's the "proud son of a lesbian" -- and invites anyone who has a problem with that to "suck my balls."
The ex-WWE superstar has a been a warrior for LGBTQ rights -- and really, equality all around (see his response to the LeBron James vandalism). And when a fan on Twitter thanked him for his support, Drax the Destroyer came with the best response ever.
"Obviously no thnx necessary but I appreciate the acknowledgement. Proud son of a lesbian and anyone who has issue w/ that can suck my balls."
Bautista has talked about his mother before -- most memorably when Manny Pacquiao compared LGBTQ people to animals.
"My mom happens to be a lesbian so I don't f**king take that sh*t," Dave told us last year ... "If anyone called my mother an animal I'd stick my foot in his ass."
